The incident, which is creating social media storm, happened in Zimbabwe where Clayton works with Newsday newspapers.

According to local reports, Clayton was said to have been caught at the home of Mutare City Football Club secretary general, Soul Tom, whose wife is believed to be his lover.

In a viral video, Clayton’s attackers could be seen beating him, forcing him to display condoms, and also roll in the mud.

The attack has been greeted with indignation in some quarters both online and offline.

“Adultery is not a crime; so, there was nothing to report to the Police.

“There are civil remedies open to the husband such as adultery damages and divorce. This barbarism is unacceptable. Generally, the increasing lawlessness in this country is disappointing,” a Lawyer, Miriam Majome, believed to be a Zimbabwean tweeted.
